Southeast Road|Jefferson to Frenchman's Bend in Light in August (Location)

The road between Jefferson and Frenchman's Bend is one of the most traveled roads in the Yoknapatawpha fictions as a group. In this novel, it is taken by Lena Grove when she rides from Varner's store to town in the wagon of an unnamed country man. They are almost to Jefferson when they "crest the final hill" on the road and see, "across the valley," "two columns of smoke" - one from the power plant's smokestack and the other from the fire at Joanna Burden's (29).
